Delhi's Yamuna River Continues Rising Above Warning Level
The Yamuna River in Delhi is getting higher.
It's currently above the warning level, which is causing concern.
The water level is being watched closely.
The main reason for this is a lot of water being released from places upstream called barrages.
This water takes a while to get to Delhi, but it's enough to raise the river's level.
Officials are keeping an eye on things and taking steps to prepare.
Yamuna River in Delhi continues to rise, exceeding the warning level.
The water level reached 204.80 meters at Old Railway Bridge on Monday.
The warning mark is 204.50 meters, the danger mark 205.33 meters, and evacuations begin at 206 meters.
